A few completely random thoughts from my head today:
1. Why are none of the Chicago Blackhawks from Chicago? I mean, seriously-they couldn't find a single solitary Chicagoan willing to raise a stick slightly off of the ground and beat someone almost to unconciousness, merely to occupy their territory?! I've lived near Chicago for awhile now, and I can only assume that they weren't really trying very hard.( Go , Blackhawks!)
2. Why was I the only nerd in the theatre on opening night who cheered for the part body double/part CGI/part Arnold Terminator? It totally brought the whole series full circle for me. Or am I overthinking this? Nerds? Anyone?
3. And speaking of Terminator, I know at least two people who have quite a lot of metal in their bodies, and they neither one seem to be stronger than normal people. Must be the chip.
4. Why is it that the older I get, the more I like the shows on PBS?
5. How come when I discuss what's wrong with the government with my family, Wal-Mart always comes up?
6. As a former homeschooling parent, I know that schooling any child is difficult. So why do I feel the need to call my dd's teachers on an at-least-weekly-basis, and give them an earful?
7. How come the last three points are questions? (Ummm...four?)
8. Why do I feel the need to give all parents of children younger than mine incessant, constant, non-ceasing advice/orders?
9. And speaking of Wal-Mart, why does almost everyone I know shop there and buy crap made in China/Taiwan/Korea/ETC, then complain about the economy in AMERICA?!!! I mean, DUH!!! Take the time to read a label, people!!!!
10. My grandfather, who was born overseas, had become an american, fought for America in a war, gotten married, and obtained a job in an (AMERICAN!) factory by the time he'd been here five years. He never, ever once bought a car that wasn't American, and he would have been shocked if anyone who was an American that he knew had done so. When I was in high school, one of my teachers told me that it takes three generations to forget anything. I am the third generation. I have NOT forgotten.

1: Dunno. Don't watch sports often at all. (But I'd watch Hockey!)
2: Cause you're really a geek. Nerd=someone that will show up opening night to a movie dressed in costume. Geek=someone who will show up opening night at a movie NOT dressed in costume. (I'm a geek, thankyouverymuch).
3: Must be. (what chip? Grippos?)
4: I hope not. The only shows on PBS that I like are Sesame Street (And dang it, all of my kids have outgrown it!)
5: Because making Walmart the baf guy is the way the New World Order distracts us from their real plans for bringing down the US economy and for World Domination.
6: Because you're a control freak?
7: Why is that?
8: Because you're a control freak? (nothing wrong that. I'm one also!)
9: Because we like things made in ETC. I hear ETC is a nice place to visit.
10: Be glad you haven't forgotten.
Also: Nice to see you blogging again! (I probably should do so as well... I've been twittering more than blogging... and Facebooking more than any of the above.)
Cute list! LOL I laughed at the Wal-Mart one...it does seem to ALWAYS end up in a conversation, doesn't it?
Thanks for the dog advice! It makes a lot of sense and I'll work on getting on board with Jer, but he may have to compromise with me a bit because I think he's being silly on some things. It's really no different than parenting but we forget that because they're dogs!
Have a great day :)
